My country is very seismically active. The strongest earthquake for the last 150 years was in Bulgaria, 7.9 near a small town called Kresna.
Today there was a 5.1 earthquake in the Black Sea which was felt throughout the region and generated a small tsunami.
Holidaymakers left the beach in panic.
Last year, there was a 4.3 earthquake in Sofia which struck as I was browsing the forum and rattle my PC.
There have been several devastating earthquakes from 1900 to 2009, all of them magnitude 7 on the Richer scale or above.
My country is doomed because the African plate is colliding with Europe. The tension in the earth's crust will lead to massive earthquake the likes of which europe has never seen in its history.
The Alps are actually the northern border of Africa, they were raised by the same process.
My country, together with Greece will be raised higher than Mount Everest at possibly 13,000 or even 14,000 metres.
When this process is finished, this will be the tallest mountain on earth.
This will have a drastic effect on climate throughout Europe.
Italy is also going to be raised and the mediterranean sea will close...giving rise to the mediterranean mountains - highest the world has ever seen.
I must leave either to Northen Europe, Russia or the US.
The Eurasian plate is stably floating and is nowhere being subducted. North America is also an option bar tornadoes, hurricanes and the San Andreas.
:sm (20):
Don't know what to do.
When the big earthuake in Turkey struck in 1999 I was on a vacation near Istanbul.
Violent shaking went on and on for more than 40 sec.
I offer some pics from Bulgaria. All this landscape will be mangled by plate tectonics.
This is the Balkan mountain, after which the whole peninsula was named.
A lake on the Black Sea.
A 15-century bridge near the town of Ardino.
Plain near the Danube river, with the Balkan mountains in the far distance.
Rocks that look like the Grand Canyon in the US.
View from the mountains over Plovdiv, one of the oldest settlements in Europe.
The entire area is expetced to be absolutely devastated by a major earthquake.
Vitosha Mountain over Sofia.
Small village in the Rhodope Mountain.
The Vucha Dam.
More Rhodope mountain.
Town of Veliko Turnovo - lies precariously directly on a fault line and is expected to be razed to the ground my a major event sometime in the future.
Problem is no one can say with certainty when exactly the big one will strike.
What do you think?
About Bulgaria in general and about plate tectonics, natural disasters and future of the earth?
Will humans survive these future catastrophes?
